Theoretically, it *could* come at any time. It mostly doesn't though. - musubi Jan 20, 10:14 4
- i think we're really really close to saying the same thing - Andie Jan 20, 10:17 3
  - Perhaps on this point we'll have to agree to disagree. Getting help is a conscious choice that an addict has to make in order to recover. - musubi Jan 20, 10:21 2
    - yes, that i agree with. -- nm - Andie Jan 20, 10:25 1

isn't that the "moment of clarity" concept? which could come at any time? though the addict probably has to wait for the moment of clarity? -- nm - TFox Jan 20, 10:13 3
- well, like i said above, the general consensus is it happens when they hit bottom. - Andie Jan 20, 10:14 2
  - I don't believe it's simple, at all. I really don't think I've suggested it's simple anywhere on the past 2 boards, if I have it was not intended. - musubi Jan 20, 10:17 1
    - see above. :) - Andie Jan 20, 10:17
